We would like to invite 5 teachers to undertake part in a little experiment, where they will get to try a sample course for free. Many of you may be familiar with IT Academy and its Microsoft Office Specialist certifications, but there is whole additional set of curricula that focus on the developer aspect of computing, the Microsoft Technology Associate (MTA). We would like to offer for free the opportunity for 5 teachers to take the Software Development Fundamentals course, which is part of the IT Academy MTA, which will lead to a Microsoft certification. This course provides CPD including access to sessions of online learning, learning support material and advice. The course is linked to the AQA GSE examination in Computer Science

The total package equates to approximately £500 worth of CPD, which we are offering for free.
